It seems like having a website open and available on the internet is getting practically impossible to manage, with bots accounting for more and more traffic. AI has gotten to a point where it can circumvent just about any form of captcha, sooooo, what? Does "the internet just get abandoned in favor of some other, better technology that we hope crops up? Does it fade away? Do the real nerds start their own separate internet, and not let companies in? I donno, food for thought I guess.

    where does it go from here?

    Places like this. There is no real alternative, this is the best we currently have. Unless you want to overthrow the capitalist world order which I am admittedly in favor of.

        Mhm, the moment the Fediverse hits a critical mass it’s coming. Maybe it’ll stay small enough to avoid it, but it’s probably already here to some degree.

        Why I started investing more energy in live chat. Harder to bot synchronously.

            Oh dear no. Talking to someone face to face like some primitive caveman? Dear lord, I’d rather be a hermit.
